A Semântica de valor de verdade e a gramática de Montague

Abstract

This article is mostly about the philosophical foundationas of the linguistic program of the north-american logician Richard Montague (1930-1970). Montague’s goal was to build up a truth conditional semantics for natural languages by means of a model-theoretic and possible-worids semantics and making use of an intensional formal language. More specifically, I discuss the choice o f a truth conditional semantics and its validity as a means of analysing meaning in natural languages
